NAME

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

The command "esmtpdstart" runs couriertcpd in the background,
listening on the SMTP port. couriertcpd will run courieresmtpd in
response to connection requests.
The command "esmtpdstop" stops the couriertcpd daemon, shutting down
the ESMTP service.
The command "esmtpd-sslstart" starts the server on the ESMTP-over-SSL
port, port 465. "esmtpd-sslstop" stops it.
The command "esmtpd-msastart" starts the server on the message
submission port, port 587. "esmtpd-msastop" stops it. The difference
between esmtpd and esmtpd-msa is that the latter is set up for
additional processing as defined by RFC 2476 (mainly that the messages
will have the Message-ID: and Date: headers added, by default).
Normally, makesmtpaccess(8) automatically runs "esmtpdrestart", in
order to reread the /etc/courier/smtpaccess.dat access file, so you
don’t have to do it manually, yourself. Similarly, makesmtpaccess-ssl(8) automatically runs esmtpd-sslrestart and makesmtpaccess-msa(8)
automatically runs esmtpd-msarestart

FILES

/etc/courier/esmtpd
This configuration file initializes various settings for
courieresmtpd.
/etc/courier/esmtpd-ssl
This configuration file initializes the settings for
courieresmtpd when invoked by esmtpd-ssl. Note that this file
is used to override the settings /etc/courier/esmtpd. The
command "esmtpd-sslstart" first reads /etc/courier/esmtpd, then
afterwards /etc/courier/esmtpd-ssl. Any settings in esmtpd-ssl
override the corresponding settings in esmtpd/etc/courier/esmtpd-msa
This configuration file initializes the settings for
courieresmtpd when invoked by esmtpd-msa. Note that this file
is used to override the settings /etc/courier/esmtpd. The
command "esmtpd-msastart" first reads /etc/courier/esmtpd, then
afterwards /etc/courier/esmtpd-msa. Any settings in esmtpd-msa
override the corresponding settings in esmtpd
